The Active Citizens Fund 2014-2021

Why does Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway support civil society development?

Support from the EEA and Norway Grants to civil society reflects a firm recognition of the sector’s role as a fundamental building block of democratic governance, human rights and social cohesion across Europe. Emphasis is given to building the capacity of the civil society sector to promote inclusion, democracy and active participation.

About 200 million euros shall go to support civil society in the 15 beneficiary countries.
